IPM - CORRECT ANSWER-Effective prescriptions can only be made
after inspection & diagnosis have been completed. The
prescription should include not only what can be done for the
customer, but what the customer can do in the way of
modifying the conditions that created the pest problem,
including such things as better sanitation, moisture control, &
exclusion practices. Environmental factors which limit the
effectiveness of control (i.e. poor sanitation) should be clearly
explained to the customer & steps should be taken to correct
the problems
IPM Pesticide - CORRECT ANSWER-Pesticides are used effectively
when they supplement other control methods. When properly
prescribed, pesticides target a specific site that is most often
visited or inhabited by the pest. Because of potential human &
environmental hazards, selection & proper application of
pesticides is a large responsibility. The pesticide chosen &
application technique used is often dependent on
characteristics of the site, such as proximity to food,
accessibility of children or pets to the treated area, ventilation
system concerns, etc. Before choosing a pesticide it is essential
to read & understand the directions & precautions on the
,product label. Remember, the pesticide label must include the
site where the pesticide is to be applied
& the pest which is to be controlled.
IPM Evaluation - CORRECT ANSWER-A good pest control program
includes a system of ongoing evaluation & regular monitoring
for checking the success or failure of a control strategy. Because
pest populations vary, & their susceptibility to pesticides may
change, periodic inspections to assess the effectiveness of a
control strategy are essential to an effective control program.
Periodic evaluations determine whether pest numbers are at a
minimal level or are increasing, & can be used to determine if
past problems have been eliminated or may be chronic, or if
new problems are appearing. Consequently, regular follow-up
evaluations are necessary to determine whether treatments are
successful & to make decisions about future needs & strategies
Arthropods - CORRECT ANSWER-Insects, arachnids, & crustaceans
comprise a large group (phylum) of animals called arthropods
(meaning jointed footed).
Segmented body
Jointed appendages
A skeleton on the outside of the body (exoskeleton)
Growth involving molting
Distant Arthropods - CORRECT ANSWER-Insects, as a distinct class of
arthropods, also possess the following combination of
characteristics:
Three body regions (head, thorax, abdomen)
Three pairs of legs (restricted to the thorax)
,One pair of antennae
Wings (usually) in the adult stage
Crustaceans - CORRECT ANSWER-Example: (crayfish, shrimp, sow
bugs, pill bugs)
Five to seven pairs of legs
Two body regions (cephalothorax & abdomen)
Two pairs of antennae
Arachnids - CORRECT ANSWER-Example: (spiders, ticks, mites,
scorpions)
Four pairs of legs
Two body regions (cephalothorax, abdomen)
No antennae
Diplopods - CORRECT ANSWER-Example: (millipedes)
Elongate, usually rounded bodies
Many body segments (typically around 50)
Two pairs of legs on most body segments
Chilopods - CORRECT ANSWER-Example: (centipedes)
Elongate, flattened bodies
Fourteen to twenty body segments
One pair of legs per body segment
, Insect Growth - CORRECT ANSWER-Development for most insects:
Egg by sexual reproduction between Male & Female. Ants, bees,
& aphids can produce eggs without sexual reproduction known
as Asexual reproduction. Eggs can be fertilized without male
sperm. Aphids asexually produced eggs can hatch inside. Eggs
are laid externally by females. Insects grow through instars,
each one is separated by a period through molting its
exoskeleton. Insects can undergo none or many instars until
matured to an adult depending on species and environment.
Each new exoskeleton can have a different shape and
appearance after molting. Then hardens a few hours after. Soft
parts remaining (Thorax & Abdomen) of caterpillars, may
expand a limited extent during an instar. All growth stops when
becoming an adult. Understanding instar development clarifies
what species the insect is. A distinct change in form resulting
from molting is called metamorphosis. The two general types of
metamorphosis predominate, simple metamorphosis, referred
as incomplete or gradual & complete metamorphosis.
Incomplete Metamorphosis - CORRECT ANSWER-Have three basic
life forms -- egg, nymph & adult. The nymphs typically pass
through three to five instars. Nymphs & adults often live in the
same habitat, with the principal changes during metamorphosis
being size, body proportions, & the development of wings.
Some insects that undergo simple metamorphosis include
grasshoppers & crickets, earwigs, the "true" bugs (Hemiptera),
aphids, & related insects
Complete Metamorphosis - CORRECT ANSWER-4 basic life forms-
egg, larva, pupa & adult. Caterpillars, maggots &grubs are
typical ex. of larvae. Larval stage has 3-7 instars, during which
they usually feed. Pupal stage (cocoon, puparia, chrysalid) is a
non-feeding stage. During the pupal stage, insect changes to
adult form. Adults are usually winged & may differ from larvae
